HO Scale

To watch a video with cutting instructions, search YouTube for: "HO Scale Hand Tools And Gas Meters Instructions".
I would embed the video here but EBay is making that difficult to do.

You will likely break some parts while cutting. The gas meters are the most likely to be damaged while cutting them from the supports.

Resin parts are more brittle than plastic and can shatter easily. Cold resin parts shatter easily. Hot resin parts are softer and have much more bend to them before they break. You can dunk the parts in hot water to soften them. Better to avoid cutting parts in a cold garage in the winter.

Cutting off supports will go more easily if you do it in a well lit area. I suggest cupping your hand around the part as you cut to prevent pieces of resin from shooting across the room.

Painting

Paint sticks well enough to these these resin parts unlike the glossy finish on 3d printed plastic parts. Since you won't be handling/scratching the parts much after they are painted, I don't think you really need to use primer (many would disagree), but if you want to, I suggest a can of flat/matte Rustoleum or Krylon primer (not glossy).

I'll manually refund part of your order when I ship to apply bulk pricing if you order 2 or more different items that have bulk pricing. Ebay automatically applies bulk pricing only if you order 2 or more of the same item that have bulk pricing.
